Re: Set max chars for Unicode Edit Text control?

How exactly do you want to limit the text?

Just limit it to a maximum of characters. Let's say the text field can hold 5 characters I want it to beep on the sixth and not add it to the text (or beep on paste if I would support paste).

I tried Laurence' suggestion installing an
kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent handler, but it failed for Japanese.
I have to try your suggestion.

Failed in what way?

From the event handler I check the string length and beep and return noErr when the maximum is reached, so that the key is swallowed.
However when I type Japanese the handler is not called for every character but only after each "bunch" of Japanese. So if text length is let's say 4 which would be enough to hold another character I can type a bunch of Japanese and exceed the limit.
